Yes i think we have a sixth sense, i believe we are born with it but loose it as we get older because we dont use it. But then we have gut instinct

Yes but it is mainly an amalgamation of using all of your senses, listening to instinct and drawing the data together. Most of the time.

Mine only works with a few family members and danger situations. Sometimes I just know things or feel I'm guided to the right answer or choice.

Equally I'm very analytical and feel that it's just a case of putting together the right things.

Odds and sods me....

I don't want to challenge anybody's beliefs here but this is my _iew on it.

I tap into mine. It gets stronger if I do more meditation or am at peace and relaxed. At these times I am especially at harmony or in tune with whatever is going on around me.

If somebody I know thinks of me then I often contact them just when they want to speak to me.

Mine also intervenes in times of danger. My mate was going on a trip to the shops in his car when we were on holiday and I would usually have gone with him but a voice said to me "don't go with him". He had a car crash on the way back that would have really made a mess of me. I thanked my guardians for the warning on that one.

I also had a warning in a dream from my ex mother in laws deceased driver (?!) that her husband was going to die in a car crash a day or so before hand but I didn't understand the meaning of the warning at the time and he duly did.

I have seen a vision of my funeral and I know when I am going to die. This gave me quite a lot of peace actually.

I have sat with clairvoyants far superior to myself as they reeled my life story off to me in great detail and even suggested that I go to the toilet when my bladder was full.

I am a normal and otherwise sane person with a professional career in a scientific subject. I don't have any problem integrating the various aspects of my life.

I have much more I could tell you about but that's probably enough for now.

Finally; I should add that my abilities came on because of spiritual practice and I was as skeptical as hell before hand. I therefore don't have a problem with skeptics. You must judge with the evidence according to all your available senses: anything else is delusion. Xx

An interesting point. If you foresee do you intervene or not? Ever seen the film "Sliding Doors"? At the time though I didn't know why I shouldn't go I was just told: "Don't go".

Perhaps you can also begin to appreciate the big responsibilities that come with these abilities.

Sometimes there are things that at first you'd just rather not know.

I've never been in that situation to be honest, so I couldn't give you an answer on that. But if I were to hazard a guess, I'd like to think I'd try to stop them? I suppose on the flip side though, there's always the chance that you could be ridiculed by someone if you were to offer such advice.

I do like the fact that you can appreciate the _iew of the skeptic though, and I'm afraid thats me in this instance. No disrespect intended to your beliefs though.

On a lighter note, I recall my sister once going to see a clairvoyant, and she was running late. As she was on her way there the clairvoyant actually rang the house to ask if she was still coming, I couldn't help thinking 'well can't you tell me'

Good question. As I said before it was a clear sign that I should not accompany him.

Supposing he was destined to have an accident anyway and I had stopped it that time? Would the one that possibly followed it have threatened or taken his life instead? i.e, was it better to let it happen and have him walk away from that one. This is what I accept for better or worse.

In summary: this is a very complex moral maze indeed and there are no simple answers. Every action (or inaction) has a consequence but then this applies to each of our lives in general anyway.

It is believed by many that, human beings use less than 10% of their brain. This is a misconception because each and every part of the brain has a known function.

So you had a warning that someone was going to die in a car crash but you only understood they were going to die in a car crash after you had been informed they had died in a car crash?

This sounds suspiciously like you had no idea they were going to die in a car crash and you filled in the blanks that they were going to die in a car crash after they died in car crash.

Also if you know when you are going to die can you let us know on what date so we can take the piss when you're still here afterwards

How did you know he would walk away from it?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sold on this as it implies I'm not in control of my own life, that there is some higher intelligence that has preordained when I will die - and thus when I was to be born xx years previously.

Personally, I think people who think they have some sort of supernatural power are a bit loopy tbh.

This dream stuff is nonsense, sorry. Think of all the hundreds of dreams we have - one of them is bound to come vaguely true. If there were people whose dreams really did come true - or there were psychics - then they'd be employed by massive corporations to give them an edge. They'd be employed by the emergency services and police. There'd be evidence.

Sorry, its just wishful thinking and forgetting all the times you're wrong.

"Common sense?"

what is that ????

I know there is something like a sixth sense, as when I was a kid (about 8) I got knocked off my bike. I did a fair bit of damage to my face, nothing too serious.

My dad rung a friend to go round to break the news to her about my crash, when he arrived my mum answered the door to him and said I know why you're here. He has had a crash he has hurt his face but he is okish, she then told him where I got knocked off but no one had told her. The poor bloke was more shocked that she knew.

Or is this mother's intuition?

I don't think they're loopy...they just really like the idea that they're special and convince themselves its true.

Or they like the money that psychics fleece off of grieving people.

Your mum probably knew you'd been riding your bike, right? and she guessed that something was wrong when your dad's friend unexpectedly showed up.

She put two and two together and got the right answer.

No intuition or special powers needed.

If he used one of her tea towels from the tea towel drawer its a safe bet there was some blood in the drawer or on it

Good to see the expected spread of _iews and some intense debate.

I sound like a crack pot for posting this stuff I know but there it is. Lets at least have a balanced debate.

The nagging thing is to read the signs correctly and often I am not so good at that so you'll have to bear with me (smile).

This is quite different to guessing but then unless you have directly experienced it for yourself; the normal reaction is to dismiss is as total nonsense.

There is no sixth sense. There is no empirical evidence for it's existence. People like to think it might exist as it explains people getting "warnings" about dangers etc. But most people only remember those instances and forget about the majority of times when they had no "warning". The human mind always looks for patterns in behaviour and it's enviroment. We ignore all the other data because we WANT to believe. Don't believe me? Ask Derek Acorah to give you a reading or whatever nonsense he does, then ask Derren Brown or James Randl to do the same.

The pre-requisite for a 6th sense is that everything is pre-ordained and life is subject to fate's whim ! The fact is fate lies with yourself, to deny this is self delusional

My friend whom I've known all my life, when she was with an abusive ex, I used to get a gut feeling as to when he was going to cause her harm, even when me and my friend wasn't in the same area I knew when she was going to get hurt, as crazy as it sounds, unfortunately I was right but its also saved her life a few times...

Very good. I had been waiting for this _iewpoint to come forth....

Now I want you to absolutely prove beyond shadow of a doubt that this stuff does not exist. Oh: And if you can somehow do this (no body has so far) then the mass psychological damage you would do to mankind would be incalculable.

And whilst you are at it I would like you to identify what makes something alive and why? What happens when it is dead and what "leaves" to make it dead? Where is its aliveness?

Where is your self and what defines your self? Does yourself inherently exist? My _iew is that the self does not inherently exist and I am not alone in this i.e. it arises from a set of circumstances. My mother was this my father that I was brought up there etc etc.

I want you to sit in meditation every day for hours every day for about 6 months to a year and totally try to prove that this stuff does not exist with all your concentration.

If you use the proven techniques for long enough and regularly enough then "something" will happen to you and it will come as quite a shock when you have to reconsider what you think "reality" actually is.

I was doing exactly this and staring at a Talisman when my body gradually became numb from my toes all the way up to my head when I lost my hearing and my sight and then my consciousness lifted right up out of my body. I nearly shat myself when this happened and dropped back down into my body again. I was so shocked by it that I didn't practice for a number of months whilst I got over it.

Depends what you mean by a "Sixth Sense"! I do not believe that life is pre-ordained or that we can get warnings about danger that may happen if we do this or that, except where we know doing this or that is a silly thing to do!

I have no idea if it is real, but in my sphere of reference, it is calling my sister, who I talk to infrequently and her saying "I was just picking up the phone to ring you"! Coincidence? Maybe. Improbale? Yep! Magical? No! It is also buying things similar at similar times to family members...

Mind you, we were all brought up in the same place, got our values from the same people, were taught by our peers in a small area of the town we lived in. So perhaps it is just that upbringing. But rather than decry what others have said, I will keep an open mind..

My brother-in-law used to get frustrated that my sister and I just knew what the other was going to say or had whole conversations without exchanging a word. After 21 years he does it too.

Sixth sense? Yes, if that sense is familiarity, knowing each other really well and able to use the clues our other senses give us and apply them to the context.

What is so laughable about clairvoyants, at least in the UK, is that they have a 'market price' Most aim for approx 45/65 pounds per session...some cheaper..Call me a cynic if you must, but to me that smacks of them pitching prices they know are generally affordable, clients are gullible, but not generally 5,000 pounds gullible.

Now it seems to me if they could actually see into the future that information would be priceless..Mmm feels like a nice little earner to me!

She was very popular... and I am guessing quite good at what she did..

I do think that some people nurture it from childhood... and that we could all be more intune but belief of what is real and not are taught to us..and we start to lock away these other talents.

I think there is a reason we only use part of our brain... and that with practise you can open up more of it.

I know quite a few mediums personally not cos I've paid to see them and they say that what they have is a gift and those that charge stupid prices are usual ones that are trying to con. I know one lady who only charges £10 but then that money is given to the spiritualist church as it needs a new roof and she is part of the committee there so it's not for her advantage

"My mum used to do a lot of work as a medium.. her pay... "cup of tea" oh and sometimes a cake..

She was very popular... and I am guessing quite good at what she did..

I do think that some people nurture it from childhood... and that we could all be more intune but belief of what is real and not are taught to us..and we start to lock away these other talents.

I think there is a reason we only use part of our brain... and that with practise you can open up more of it.

Well if she can indeed tell the future shouldn't be too difficult to raise the money for a new roof!"

Mediums don't tell the future. And even with fortune telling its only the path your on at that moment.

Very good. I had been waiting for this _iewpoint to come forth....

And whilst you are at it I would like you to identify what makes something alive and why? What happens when it is dead and what "leaves" to make it dead? Where is its aliveness?

I want you to sit in meditation every day for hours every day for about 6 months to a year and totally try to prove that this stuff does not exist with all your concentration.

if there's no evidence to prove something exists then you don't need to provide evidence that something doesn't exist. the ones claiming existence are the ones are the ones making fantastical claims. the burden of proof is yours.

The 'sixth sense' isn't supernatural, it's unconscious perception of subtle cues from the environment, coincidence, and responses to triggers and social interaction. Plus as has already been mentioned, this retrospective form of the sixth sense where it is interpreted as such only after the event.

Also sixth sense is the wrong term, there are far more than five. Hunger, balance and hot/cold for example.

And for my last point, if it existed, which I don't believe it does, it wouldn't be supernatural, it would be natural and there would be a scuentific, measurable explanation.and everyone would be able todo it to some level.

Every mystery ever solved has been proven to be.... Not magic.

Well they come under the same umbrella.pseudoscience con artists who prey on people willing to buy into the b.s

There are hundreds of studies on it and not one has proven it to be reality.

The fact people have anecdotal evidence does not mean anything.

The whole subject is a piece of pizz to test,yet no test ever prove positve

I have a rather analytical mind and am more drawn to science than anything. As such I completely agree with this post - the only thing I would like to add is this: Recent studies have confirmed that teh so called Placebo effect can actually podruce positive changes in a person as can positive thinking. While I do not believe in psychic/ mystic etc stuff - I would not dream of criticising anybody for using/ believing/ enjoying it and I do not doubt those people are genuinely getting something out of it.

There are between 9 and 21senses. The feeling of heat/cold (this is not touch), pain.

I'm still a skeptic. But I find it more of a believable phenomenon than some invisible entity judging every thing I've ever done.

A very fair point, but it's my experience that, besides the undoubted financial scams that are inherent in the 'industry'..the placebo effect it provides is usually a short term relief masking how people deal with death, health, and relationships. Often this delays, and can damage the process of how people come to terms with life events.

Sixth sense yes I believe we do.....

My daughter was involved in a car crash the other day , her fella who was driving didn't have his belt on, she told him to put it on as she felt something bad may happen so he put it on ......

5 minutes later there involved in a headon crash and both walk away with minor bruising , the car was wrecked !

Blind luck?

If people could see the future they'd all be multi-millionaires .......I think were talking about some kind of inbuilt sense that's forewarns us when something bads about to happen to us , and maybe its something we've lost as we've evolved.

Surely if at one time we had this power.evolution would bring out the ability,not fade it away.

The evidence of no god is pretty conclusive to me.some people may take more convincing.

Psychic abilty is 100% testable

Peoples stories about how they thought something is goin to happen is not proof.

I've thought I saw someone I know then walked around the corner and they were there,not the person I thought I saw.that is nothing amazing,its just probable that it will happen.

You are wrong to assume I have to prove the none-existence of a sixth sense. The onus is on YOU to prove it's existence. Look up Bertrands Teapot and see why you are coming at it from the wrong angle.

Does anyone remember Doris Stokes? A well known medium who told anyone who would listen that when she died, she would send back a clear message..

She died in 1987 and to date, no such message has been received by any of her followers...

I do however find John Edward a little mystifying! Unlike the standard questions which lead or draw out the needs of a subject. He relates information and prefers the subject to just say yes or no! Best I can come up with is pre-knowledge...

Pychic ability is only testable in the ways that science happens to accept that its testable and this has its limitations.

Nobody who really has this ability gives a monkeys about money or anything else materialistic. Its not asceticism: This shallow materialistic stuff (in there eyes) just ceases to be important.

Evolution, if you mean the cutting edge of a western society, is actually degrading the ability not increasing it. Its quite difficult to find any nature spirits in a semi-disposable Swedish furniture store for example. In fact the only vibe in there seems to be: "My soul feels so bad: let me buy something to make myself feel better". But this is only my opinion of course.

African bushmen on the plains are way superior to using all their senses and their instincts/6th sense than we are in a western society. They have to be: they are "on the menu".. LOL.

Finally; don't assume that the cops and the intelligence agencies don't use psychics just because they deny it.

Remote Viewing got particularly "exiting" during the cold war and several psychics on both sides were assassinated for being rather "too good" at it.

This post above reveals a lot about your values and they are very common _iews so its worth analyzing them further:

You find it impossible to believe that anybody with these personal powers could not be rich, could not be famous and that's because conditioning by society has made you think that these factors are actually power.

My _iew is that this is complete nonsense. Pardon me for proudly lifting a finger to the whole of the asylum here yet again.... LOL

Please remember that mother nature cares not one jot about money or fame. For example; any idiot can become a father (providing they are fertile). There is no limiting pay grade, selection inter_iews or license required.

These are the forces of nature we are dealing with here and with these abilities come trials that examine the very fabric of your soul. Only those with true compassion can withstand this. The rest fall by the wayside.

This is the self protecting mechanism. Your ego is destroyed by the process and all the selfishness that goes with it.

"Sacrifice your belief on the altar of evidence. "

Funnily enough I have had to do that a heck of a lot. And when you have the balls to really do it then it is quite a mentally disturbing process the first few times.

Our minds have such strong delusions. Even what you see with your eyes is strictly by definition a lie. The image projected on the optic nerve at the back of you eye is upside down and backwards. Your brain has to correct it to produce what you "see" and does it instantaneously without any awareness if this deception our part.

If you can't trust what you see with your eyes to be without considerable alteration then what can you trust as evidence anyway?

No wonder the Buddhists say that everything is illusion.....

Which has more illusion? The belief or the evidence? And which set of beliefs is the evidence based upon anyway?

Bertrand Russell criticized all dogmas and religious beliefs as nonsense. I'm sorry but I didn't think I had posted barely a single piece of religious dogma. I have talked about things I have experienced and I dislike all dogma.

What Authority does Russell have and why should we believe him? Well: his student Wittgenstein destroyed Russell's theories and life's work as nonsense in a few short years. Russell took the bottle shortly afterwards...

Wittgenstein did a hell of a lot of meditation (as it happens) and saw right through Mr Russell's flawed arguments. Wittgenstein arranged logic in perfect circular arguments to create a philosophy that encompassed all others and has not been surpassed to this day. Perhaps you should be studying a klein bottle and not a tea pot?

You are entitled to your opinion of course but even if we go down your route then we find there is better around and your arguments are quite out of date.

This will be my last post unless somebody comes back with a new direction on this as we are almost chatting with each other which is against the rules.

As an exercise in logic, why should I believe in something that cannot be proved? I know that 2+2+4 because it can be proven. I know mankind is descended from apes, because there is proof. I know that a medium or psychic is a charlatan because ANYONE can do it. Fools get suckered in because they want to believe and they ignore ALL the evidence and concentrate on pieces that prove what they want to be true.

I work in a high tech design office. We have lots of people who are mathematical geniuses. They apply logic and reasoning ruthlessly as you are advocating. The trouble is that a fair proportion of them (bless 'em) cannot "tie their own shoe laces" in many other respects. Emotional intelligence is seriously absent.

Logic and reason isn't the pinnacle of human thought: Its barely at base camp level and regardless of how we wish to label it I would say that humans are much more than this.

There are actually a lot more than 6 senses... Steven Fry on QI explains in this 2 minute clip:
